Expert Solution
Step 1

Giv

    fx=5x4+75x3+315x2+405x

   One of its factors is x+9

Factor out common terms:

        =5xx3+15x2+63x+81

  The polynomial x3+15x2+63x+81 can be factorized by using the rational root test.

  To apply this test first we need to find at least one rational zero.

In this case one rational zero is x=-3
